Emagine’s 'King of the Vikings' VR experience redefines history education, blending immersive storytelling with cutting-edge technology to bring Viking history to life. This pioneering project showcases the transformative power of VR, making learning engaging, entertaining, and unforgettable.

An Immersive First for Irish Tourism

The original King of the Vikings set new standards for location‑based VRemagine.ie. Inside a reconstructed longhouse, visitors don headsets and become part of a Norse raid. Authentic props and set design combine with immersive sound and visuals to create a believable Viking world.

Pioneering Technology and Storytelling

As Ireland’s first VR heritage attraction, the project blended interactive technology with compelling narrative. Visitors learn about Viking exploration, trade and mythology while feeling the drama of a raid.

Building a Legacy of Innovation

The success of King of the Vikings demonstrated the potential of VR for tourism and inspired subsequent projects across the country, including its own 2.0 upgrade.
